Quick question, when restoring a Nandroid backup, does it restore the phone exactly as it was when you perform the backup - as in all passwords, programs, settings ect.
I love flashing roms, but sometimes readding all my wifi, passwords, email, forums etc can be a pain.
Thanks!
Marc
Yes it saves everything and restores it back to that previous state with everything intact. Before flashing anything, it's good practice to make a NAND backup; if anything goes wrong you can restore it.
Yes it does. It has for me anyways.
GBeris 2.3.2
And save a copy of a recent backup on your computer somewhere just in case...
Excellent! I've been backing up everytime I've flashed a new rom, but never had to do a restore. Good to know incase I want to do fast swapping of ROMS.
Thanks!
I had this same question but mine is a little different. Say I did a backup while having GSB on here. Then I flashed a different rom. Then I did a restore. Does it switch me back to GSB or just add all my settings to the new rom?

Nandroid backup and restore is just like Norton Ghost on a Windows PC. You will get back GSB just as you left it if you Nandroid Restore a backup made while the phone was running GSB, with this caveat:
- the Nandroid backup and restore in Amon's Recovery does not back up the /cache partition, so the first launch will take a while as the Dalvik cache is rebuilt
- Amon's also does not backup or restore the .android_secure folder on your SD card, where the Froyo/GB ROMs install apps when you move them from internal to the SD card. So, if you had apps on SD on GSB, installed a new ROM and formatted the card, the Nandroid Restore (I believe) will not bring those apps back.
Just to add to what doogald said, ROM Manager with ClockWork Mod Recovery (it launches from Amon RA, so you don't have to flash anything and you still can use Amon RA all you want) does backup the Dalvik-Cache and I believe I believe it backs up the .android_secure folder as well.
recoveries
Something to keep in mind is that the amon-ra recovery is stable, and works very well. clockworks recovery works, but something to keep in mind is it sometimes bricks the eris. I don't know why. IF you don't care on way or the other clockwork recovery gets installed with the one click method of rooting.
Nand backups work great. If you like to switch roms a lot. I'd suggest to keep one rom as your goto rom, and remans it with a file manager keep it apha numeric, and no spaces in the filename. when you switch roms take a few seconds to wipe the phone, and then restore. This usually makes it the restore function as it was before things changed.

Just in case any new rooters get confused, I think you meant that Amon RA Recovery gets installed with the one click method of rooting.

Actually there are new rooters all the time posting questions in general and q&a since they often don't have write access to the development area yet. They often say they just rooted.

I'm taking the plunge this week. My phone is still OTA 2.1 baby!
The other thing I will say is that folks should stop *****ing about FCs with the new ROMs. I get them now running all the latest 2.1 apps if I don't power down the phone every night.(Don't know how that compares to rebooting?)
I would make sure you use the amon ra recovery since in my experience its been more stable.

I am new to these forms and was wondering if there was a good walk-through/guide for changing your phone data over when you are upgrading to a newer version of the same rom.
Thanks to your forms already I have no problem switching roms but I do have a few favorites I would like to keep updated without starting fresh. Pointing me in the right direction or any advice would be much appreciated!

I may have solved my own question but I would like some further opinion's. I upgraded GSB from 2.1 to 2.4 then I merged all my old data to this version using the Recovery Mod... pushed new Google apps update and all seems fine. Forsee any problems with the current method?

Don't know what you mean by the "Recovery Mod".
I use the method I outline in my post here; about the middle of my post, in response to PieceKeepr, starting with my third paragraph to him.
"TB" in my post is "Titanium Backup" on the Android Market.
Ya what I ment by "Recovery Mod" was the Rom Manager ClockworkMod. Will check out your post, thanks for the advice.

I'm still not sure what ClockworkMod has to do with merging data, but as long as you know what you mean, that's what's important! Maybe you meant you did a no wipe (Dalvik wipe only) update? Sorry I'm having trouble understanding.
Not quite what I ment but probably the same result. What I did was Backup the whole current system (nand) currently running GSB 2.1 then did a system/data/dalvic wipe and installed the new GSB 2.4 CM7 booted it up with gapps etc. Made sure it was working. Then rebooted and went into recovery and restored just the user data.

Also thanks again for the advice on Titanium Backup it works good and I really like their use of just being able to restore data. I was looking for just an app, however because I am a Designer by trait I only overlooked their program because I didn't like the icon... silly me.

If you could bear with me for a little bit longer there's still something I'm missing. Recovery doesn't have anything having to do with restoring user data. Could you tell me exactly what menu option(s) you're referring to?

You're welcome. For a long time I swore by My Backup but once Titanium Backup was updated for Gingerbread it actually works better for me than it ever did all the other times I tried it before. Especially with the option in TB's preferences to restore apps to the locations that it backed them up from, since I use Apps2SD to move a lot of my apps to the SD card, so that's just one more thing I don't have to do.

I do like the data restore better on TB and of course MyBackup I did use before but it didn't have the options I was trying to find. Anyways what I did was make a complete system backup using ClockworkMod Recovery, then like I said installed the new version. Booted back to recovery and from the menu:
- backup and restore > - Advanced Restore >
Then I choose my backup "date bla bla"
- Restore data
Thats about it, hope that helps ~ let me know what you think.
I'm lazy, I just overlay my roms each time. I think I've been doing it this round since about GSB 1.6 or 1.7 when I had to do a full wipe because something got glitchy.
Previously when I was on KF, I went quite a while with flashovers.

I wouldn't suggest just wiping caches when flashing Roms. Unless its the same Rom, ie viperrom beta 2 to viperrom beta 3. I use titanimum backup pro to install all my apps after flashes. Try that its way better then downloading from the market.
Go sms pro is good to back up your sms, and you can export your contacts to your sd card if you don't sync them to google.. beyond that, titanium backup is good for apps.. l

Yea, it IS possible to flash a rom without wiping data, however you will DEFINITELY run into a lot of problems, especially when going from GB to ICS. Just backup texts with SMS Backup and Restore, and backup apps with Titanium. Flash the new rom, download Titanium from the Market, and restore your apps and homescreen layouts. I've flashed many roms, and it takes me less than 45 minutes to flash and get everything back to the way I like it.

Yes you will run into problems but this is how you can do it *DO THIS AT YOU OWN RISK+. Go to Backup and Restore menu, pick advance restore, pick a backup from another ROM, pick Restore DATA and wait! I herd that it worked for SOME people
For me I always go for a fresh install, wipe everything, format all, with the exception of sd cards. As for the backups. I use Titanium, Sms backup pro (or Go sms), and google. Let me know if any of this helped.

fastest way if you want avoid bugs is installing Titanium Backup pro, backup all apps and system data(its good to have everything if you will be returning to same rom), via recovery wipe everything, flash new rom, install TB pro again, restore all missing apps and data, and there mark only green(things like call logs,sms,mms,settings,widgets,wifi spots etc.) and grey (not installed apps, for example games). Recovering everything including all red system data and services may cause some compatibility problems becouse of different roms, especially if comming to another sense/android version. sry for my english

That's not a ROM version but a radio version that I would like to find so that I can get the MEID locations. Anyone know where I can get the radio to flash ? I'm HBOOT 1.4, S-OFF, Revolution rooted.
The most recent radio version for the 3D is 1.09.00.0706
I currently have 1.06.00.1216 but I'm not successful at figuring out how to do the scan for meid locations so far and the aforementioned radio has a list of such floating around. The goal is to boostm.....
I've tried several times to install the custom ICS ( [ROM] CM9 / LiquidSmooth / AOKP / Random ICS ), but WiFi is not coming on.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Better yet, I am trying to flash the latest ICS ROM to my thunderbolt that is stable.
Seems most have some sort of reboot problem
So far I have tried all the Liquid Smooth - very nice ROMs but get random reboot
PS
From about phone, I see the following
Mode version: liquid mecha.mr3.100212
Build number: Liquid ICS v1.5MR3-JMOD
Radio: 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r

No problem, hope you enjoy.
There's also a DeSensed version, called UnSense, which you likely saw as well.
See ya around that way.
Yes, I saw it and am trying to learn the differences between these 2 ROMs - so far better battery life stands out
Looks like I will be spending a lot more time there.
By the way, I was looking at your ext4 instructions (re-printed below for clarity - hope you don't mind)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option I chose ext4 instead of ext3
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
I chose ext4 instead of ext3 - could this be the cause of my random reboots using Liquid Smooth ICS ROM?
When I flash your ROM, I will choose to format ext3 - just to be sure (heh heh heh):laugh:

You can't use ext4 file system with nusense or unsense yet because the kernel doesn't support it. The random reboots with twisted ics could be related but I can't be sure since I haven't used it in a while.

I tried the nusense ROM and formatted using ext3
Am still getting WiFi to drop randomly
At times it turns itself off - when it does that I see "out of range'.
Google Market changed to "Google Play", and most of the times that process stops working and prevent me from installing my apps
WiFi turns off and prevent update from Google Play as well - since I have it setup to update over WiFi
Also, am getting lots of process is not responding messages like "process.com.android.phone is not responding"
I get these messages very frequently.
I may go back to using LiquidSmooth ICS8 mr3v1
Are you sure you formatted all the partitions in ext3? The only way I get those messages are when I don't format properly. Also, maybe try clearing cache and data in the phone app and as for the market trying clearing data and cache. It may not hurt to run a fix permissions in the recovery. Does you wifi problem only happen with ics roms?

If you do not format all partitions in ext3 format, you will have issues.
If you are not waiting until after the initial setup to sign into the market, that is likely an issue.
You need to wait until the home screen has set up and the device settles.
Then reboot, wait a minute and then sign into the market.
In my FAQ, you will see, the Market is the Play Store, no difference, just themed.
It has updated since the rom's last update and will do so when you sign in.
It's just an incremental update, but the theme goes away that I included for it an so does the custom icon and "Market" name.
If you do the above and still have issues, clearing the market (Play Store) app data and cache should sort you out.
If you are restoring data from another rom, then that is why you are also having force closes or wifi issues.
You cannot restore wifi data from an AOSP based rom that uses a GB kernel and expect that the same config will work well with the ICS rom and kernel.

After installing all my apps, I booted to recovery and did the swipe thing again
Yes, my WiFi issue is only with ICS ROM, specifically this one (during and after setup)
So far the LiquidSmooth ICS 1.5 MR3 is working the best for me.
No WiFi issues at all, but I still do get occasional reboots.
Did you wipe boot and system partitions before flashing the rom?

Yes Sir, I did all that
I really appreciate all your efforts and your replies both to you and to Santod, I really, really do!
At this time, I resign myself to the fact that some of these ICS ROMs are not yet in their final stages and will wait patiently.
A huge Thanks for the great work to all developers, busting their humps to get this done.
I'm back baby
A funny thing happened to me yesterday, and I'm still laughing
Previously, I mentioned that I was tempted to downgrade my radio, but decided to go back to Liquid ICS v1.5MR3V1
So far I was still getting random reboots - way too many for my taste.
After reading numerous posting, I decided to roll back my radio from 2.00.00.0308, 0.02.00.0312r to 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1.
But, in doing so, I accidentally installed the leaked ICS ROM instead (2.11.605.19).
So I thought I was downgrading my radio, but ended up installing the leaked ROM :laugh:
Incidentally, I also un-rooted my T-bolt - Thanks to the new tool I was able to quickly root it back.
Luckily, I also backed up the previous ROM, and was able to restore it.
All in the sudden, my T-bolt is back - everything is working fine and no more reboots :victory:
To Recap, after downgrading my radio to the leaked radio 1.49, all is well again .
My T-bolt is running so good that I am hesitant to load the latest ROMs.
My choices are the nuSense beta 17.2 or AOSP 4.0.4 ICS [Multi-Source]
Is it a wise decision to upgrade or should I stay put
That updated nusense is amazing but I wouldn't run it with the full leaked radios. I use the combo of the. 19/leaked radios and they work great.

Thank you sir, for your prompt reply!
Sounds like I need to give the NuSenseROM a try, but ....
1) what's so amazing about it, and how does it differ from what I'm currently using (where can I get screenshots)
a) I know its been reworked - but that's over my head (for now)
2) I am not entirely sure what the combo 19/leaked radio is, is it this ".19 cdma and the ICS LTE radio" posted by Santod?
Thanking you in advance.
1) Basically everything works the way it was intended to. Camcorder included. Only drawback is battery is slightly worse than Twisted's build.
A) He rebased the rom using the official Droid Incredible 2 ota which is a better base since the original base was from the leak that sucked balls big time.
2) Yes
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I now have the NuSenseROM installed - so far so good.
No reboots yet and I am still using the 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1 radio
The ROM is nearly flawless, but I wish it had the phone dialer interface, and the people interface of the Liquid Smooth ROM
I love the fact the camcorder works, but I wish it also had the ICS camera (But I can download it).
I am using Go SMS Pro, and this ROM is not linking my accounts pictures there (bummer)
The Liquid Smooth ROM showed my accounts picture on that app.
I am using and synchronizing my Google, Verizon, Facebook, and Voxer accounts
Before I install a new ROM I always do a back up in recovery before I install the new ROM. Then I wipe everything before flashing the new ROM. Then I install the ROM. Then I do a restore of only the data from my back up. This reinstalls all of my apps and all of my account data. When I restore I simply uncheck boot and system and let the restore only be the data from my back up. This is a fast easy way rather than using titanium back up or similar. I'm not sure if this can be done going from sense to aosp. But I don't see why it would be a problem. Hope this helps some of you out there. I always wipe dalvik and cache between everything I do.

From all I've ever read, yes, it would be a problem going from sense to AOSP, but I must admit I've never personally tried. I guess it (this method) wouldn't try to restore any sense apps, as they would be on the system/app partition, not /data.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Depends, if it just restores data than I think not? Then again if your only trying to restore apps that be on data/app hmm. Test and find out? I wanna know! And stuck deep in the south horrid 3g and no additional rims in storage.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Honestly the best way to restore accounts apps and data is to do a back-up then after you flash your new rom is to restore data from your back up with twrp. Then everything is done. Just uncheck boot and system from your back up. Very fast and simple. This can be done from sense to sense. And aosp to aosp or aokp.

I'm not sure if this can be done going from sense to aosp. But I don't see why it would be a problem. Hope this helps some of you out there. I always wipe dalvik and cache between everything I do.

If you mean system data then I've tried that coming from AOKP back to sense and it'll say "a reboot is required for changes to take affect" but it'll send you into a boot loop. Believe me I've hardbricked 2 EvoLTEs

Not sure if trolling or just stupid.
